Our Story
A little woodland dream, with some help from the ponies.
How Our Hideaways Came to Be
The Original Cabin Inspiration
The first cabin was already here when I arrived. Once a musical instrument workshop and later an artist's studio, it seemed the perfect place to try welcoming guests. We tentatively listed it on Airbnb, and to our delight, people loved it!
From there, things grew — although the ponies had quite a say in what happened next...
Expanding to New Structures
Mossy Rocks Roundhouse was raised on a wooden deck above a pile of rocks, following my golden rule that no precious pony grazing space should be sacrificed. Every blade of grass counts!
The Horse's Reject
Our traditional Gypsy wagon was originally bought for Jake the horse. But Jake had other ideas and made it clear he'd much prefer a lightweight modern cart. Given our steep hills and narrow lanes, I couldn't really argue. So the wagon found a new purpose as a rather special woodland retreat.
And an Old Hay Trailer
And the Hideaway Hut? That quite literally grew upwards from my old hay trailer.
What began as Wyes Workshops gradually evolved into our collection of woodland hideaways. When we welcomed guests after lockdown, we were rewarded with a wonderfully busy season and so many kind reviews.
It turns out the ponies had some rather good ideas after all.
